How to answer "What type of woodworker are you?"

[Patty Hann]

Other person: What kind of woodworker are you?
Me: Slow. Even slower than Ken.
Other person: ????
Me: Never mind.

[Dwayne Watt]

I make very expensive sawdust.

[Brian Runau]

Wood butcher.

[Pat Rice]

I knew a man who use to work at a local Millwork, he said he was a wood machinist. I rather like that, for me as a hobbyist I tell people that woodworking is my passion but that wife says my shop is my hobby

[Steve Rozmiarek]

Very entertaining! I just tell people I'm a carpenter. Keeps the expectations low.

[Rod Sheridan]

I get asked this a lot. I never know quite what to say to people. I find most things involved in woodworking to be interesting, and I've dabbled in quite a few. Mostly I seem to just build things for the shop.... using the shop. So self-referential woodworker?

I describe myself as a purveyor of expensive scraps……Regards, Rod

How about "an expensive one". That stymies the request to make something cheap they were about to make.

I like that.

[Alan Lightstone]

How about, I'm the kind who has spent a lot of time, energy, and money building up a very nice workshop where I occasionally produce something I'm not embarrassed to show others.

That's probably the most accurate describing myself.

[Keith Hankins]

I say "....I make fine furniture on commission".
